JSString
to get the length of a jsstring you can use js_getstringlength.

JSVAL_IS_STRING
to access the content of a string jsval, use jsval_to_string, js_getstringchars, and js_getstringlength.

JSVAL_TO_STRING
(the difference is that the latter will convert an object, array, number, or other value to a string in a type-safe way, creating a new string if needed.) to convert the return type of this macro (jsstring *) to a char pointer, use js_getstringbytes.

JS_CStringsAreUTF8
enabling this option also causes js_getstringbytes and js_encodecharacters to produce utf-8 strings instead of latin-1.

JS_CompareStrings

JS_EncodeString
use js_getstringchars to access the 16-bit characters of a javascript string without conversions or copying.

JS_MakeStringImmutable
(when an application shares a string by storing it in a javascript object that another thread can read, the javascript engine automatically makes the string thread-safe.) after a successful call to js_makestringimmutable, subsequent calls to js_getstringcharsz on the same string are guaranteed to succeed, and subsequent calls to js_getstringchars on the same string are guaranteed to return a null-terminated string.

JS_StringHasLatin1Chars
some functions like js_copystringchars and js_getstringcharat accept both latin1 and twobyte strings.

jschar
to get the characters of a javascript string, use js_getstringchars.

SpiderMonkey 1.8
js_encodestring is a new variation on js_getstringbytes that returns a newly allocated, writable buffer which the application must js_free.

Mozilla internal string guide
for example: // when passing a string to a method, use const nsastring& nsfoo::printstring(const nsastring &str); // when getting a string from a method, use nsastring& nsfoo::getstring(nsastring &result); the abstract classes are also sometimes used to store temporary references to objects.
